early spring buds

I was so excited that I found the image stabilization button on my new camera today. To try it out, I photographed the progress of buds in our backyard. The past two days have been warm and it seems like the buds are swelling.

From top left: azalea, rose (Othello), pussy willow, crab apple, climbing hydrangea, rhododendron, viburnam Carlesii, leatherleaf viburnam, blueberries, pear, rose bay rhododendron, and another photo of rose Othello.
